Def Jam Now Golden

Electronic Arts today announced that its EA BIG branded take on wrestling, Def Jam Vendetta, has officially reached "Gold" status on PS2, which means it's final, complete, and officially ready for mass production.

Def Jam Vendetta will ship to retail stores March 18 for PlayStation 2, with the GameCube version following shortly after. You can check the Def Jam Vendetta countdown clock at www.defjamvendetta.com if you feel the need.

Developed by AKI Corporation in cooperation with EA Canada, Def Jam Vendetta is a one- to four-player game on both systems (requiring a Multi-tap for PS2) and is rated ESRB "T" for Teen. Expect more coverage on Def Jam Vendetta soon on IGN.
